Meet the Business Owner

James C.

Business Owner

I was born in England, raised in Ireland, and I’m now living in San Francisco, California. My career in the hair industry began in Dublin, Ireland on 25^th September, 1989. From the beginning of my apprenticeship, I had dreams of moving to various countries to develop my craft and further my career. Over the course of fifteen years I traveled and visited over twenty countries, including Paris, Bangkok, London, Melbourne and New York, but even after all of my traveling, I was still unable to decide upon the best city to relocate and expand my craft. That decision was made in 2005, while visiting friends in San Francisco, I was captivated by the creativity, culture, and style of the city and knew that I had to move here.

In 2006, after seventeen years in Dublin, I left everything behind to rebuild my career, clients and reputation in San Francisco. In doing so challenging myself to be become the best hairdresser in the city.
